Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

The idea is to block all users not in the AD security group "InternetUsers" from accessing the internet (this is intentional as at the Red Cross Hospital there is some serious time wastage happening and therefore lock down is in place)

When I try to start the squid service it fails and checking /var/logs/messages it reads:

Well you need to find it what the error was. Not sure why the service script b0rked so badly, but that isn't the error itself. Look in the log files or run squid directly without the service script for full disclosure.

1. I had to be a lot more precise when it comes to my src definition (which makes sense)
2. If I have httpd running, obviously I cannot use port 80 because competition would ensue between the services
3. The location of the ntlm helper libraries are not the ones I, naively, pasted right away. I should have known better.
4. I should RTFM before I start tackling stuff like this and then asking n00b questions.

Thanks a lot mate, you were patient with me
